The Pattie Suit progres

I received my fabric in the posted letters last Friday for the jacket/skirt blend that I was talking about here.

Before I begun, I tried to read through the instructions, which were the large-scale load of gobbledygook, so I chucked them in the receptacle and took out my favourite stitching publication - The Readers digest entire guide to stitching.

It has an entire part on tailoring a coat and suggests methods that make way more sense and the images are coherent.

I also decided to name this the Pattie match, because it?s shorter than "jacket skirt blend" and because I'm actually reading Pattie Boyd's biography - magnificent life. So my stitching will be embedded with extracts and stories from Pattie's life. 
 
So far I have completed the body of the coat and will move on to the collar, and facings next.

This is what's occurred so fafinding the absurd huge Burdastyle pattern endeavouring on the muslin - I habitually slash my patterns to the large-scale size and then just trim them to fit. In this case, I need to bring it in at the bust and waist, but not at the hips.
 
Welt pouches - I screwed up this one and determined to fix it with a peak stitch but the peak stitch was too short and now it looks comical but not obvious from farawayconcluding the welt pouches till the side seams are done. You don't have to do this, but it makes for pleasant method performing.

The interfacing is attached but it has made the coat a little too rigid so I might tear it off... I'm wanting once I've pad stitched the underscoring on it will make it suppler (fingers crossed!).

Pinning the underscoring to the front piece. The underscoring adds warmth and bulk to a coat with fabric that might not be powerful enough to hold its own. I am utilising simple cotton fabric fabric flannel for the underscoring

Adding twill strip to the seams that were slash on the bias. The tape reinforces the fabric and prevents it pulling and evolving saggy. This is pretty significant, especially because Iam utilising cotton fabric sateen. 

Sateen is woven to give a small allowance of stretch so I supplemented the tape as I don?t desire it to stretch over time and wreck a in a nice way tailored coat.

supplementing the pockets ? I'm pretty certain I've stitched these pockets wrong? they should be turned to the right!
